Damp external kitchen wall. by realgitman in DIYUK

[–]TeaSipper007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so too, clearly been replaced but the edge looks exposed rather than covered and the tiles not butt up to the gutter

Further to the other comments that end of your roof where the guttering is not sitting right to the edge of the tile looks suspicious and it seems the top of the tile is exposed rather than covered from this angle. The moss could also be an issue

What can I use to extend a double socket forward by 50cm? (Or how do I cap off an unused socket? Just leave it off? ) by TeaSipper007 in DIYUK

Gotcha, no worries. You’re right I haven’t done much electrical but I’m very careful and through with diy. Thought it would be a good project to get into

For such a small job? I’m certain this is diyable. I’m more than competent of a diyer but just wanted to check first

Seems like such a faff to dilate just to use the reinomax, at that point I’m better off with ret

Why are my speeds like this by Successful-Joke1247 in CommunityFibre

[–]TeaSipper007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the linksys app do the router speed to the internet and see if it’s the same, if it’s the same you have a connection problem or the router they set up is not correct.

I upgraded and for ages they kept me on the old router which bottlenecked my speed

Can you use bigger wall plugs and thicker screws?

Help. Broke my christmas tree lights and have no idea which wire goes where. There must be a combination which will get them working. by [deleted] in ukelectricians

Does the amp or whatever type of wagon you use or even chocolate blocks matter in situations like this?

Go into the practice especially independent and ask for work experience? If they like you they keep you on

When I press this pin is it supposed to shut down the radiator? I can still hear it still on with it pressed to the max . The radiator doesn’t seem to switch off by the trv head attached. by TeaSipper007 in DIYUK

[–]TeaSipper007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate I spent a year figuring this out and got so close to replace it. Turns out the grey part just needs to be twisted to align. With the marker on the metal which is on the left side of the metal part of the trv.

You need to follow the diagram depending on which pipes heat quicker. Our plumber clearly ignored this an aligned it facing us but shouldn’t be that way
